To identify the effects of RA on adipocyte differentiation of the bovine intramuscular fibroblast-like cells, the cells were induced by the addition of differentiation medium in the absence or presence of 1 nM and 1 [micro]M all-trans RA.

The transcriptional effects of the retinoids are regulated by a family of nuclear receptors, the retinoid acid receptors (RARs) and the retinoid X receptors (RXRs), whose natural ligands are all-trans retinoic acid and 9-cis retinoic acid, respectively.

In a companion theoretical study we followed up on this idea and studied the interaction of water with OEG moieties in the helical and the planar all-trans conformations using ab initio calculations, at the Hartree-Fock level, for OEG clusters containing up to twelve methoxy-terminated EG3-OMe strands and twenty water molecules.
